Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." St. Thomas Aquinas said: "The things we love tell us who we are!" With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry!
Below are two albums of pictures that I created:

Mary TV: Day 27 Consecration

All For Jesus!!!

(c)Mary TV 2013

August 8, 2013

St. Dominic

Consecration Day 27

Week 3

Dear Family of Mary!

We are so very quickly
approaching the day of consecration!! We are in Week 3, Day 27! In this
week we pray for a knowledge of Jesus Christ!

Purpose: Obtain Knowledge of Jesus Christ

During this
period we shall apply ourselves to the study of Jesus Christ. What is
to be studied in Christ? First the God-Man, His grace and glory; then
His rights to sovereign dominion over us; since, after having renounced
Satan and the world, we have taken Jesus Christ for our Lord. What next
shall be the object of our study? His exterior actions and also His
interior life; namely, the virtues and acts of His Sacred Heart; His
association with Mary in the mysteries of the Annunciation and
Incarnation, during His infancy and hidden life, at the feast of Cana
and on Calvary.

True Devotion To the Blessed Virgin Mary: Nos. 61-62

61. Jesus,
our Savior, true God and true man must be the ultimate end of all our
other devotions; otherwise they would be false and misleading. He is the
Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and end of everything. "We labor,"
says St. Paul, "only to make all men perfect in Jesus Christ." For in
him alone dwells the entire fullness of the divinity and the complete
fullness of grace, virtue and perfection. In him alone we have been
blessed with every spiritual blessing; he is the only teacher from whom
we must learn; the only Lord on whom we should depend; the only Head to
whom we should be united and the only model that we should imitate. He
is the only Physician that can heal us; the only Shepherd that can feed
us; the only Way that can lead us; the only Truth that we can believe;
the only Life that can animate us. He alone is everything to us and he
alone can satisfy all our desires. We are given no other name under
heaven by which we can be saved. God has laid no other foundation for
our salvation, perfection and glory than Jesus. Every edifice which is
not built on that firm rock, is founded upon shifting sands and will
certainly fall sooner or later. Through him, with him and in him, we can
do all things and render all honor and glory to the Father in the unity
of the Holy Spirit; we can make ourselves perfect and be for our
neighbor a fragrance of eternal life.

62. If then
we are establishing sound devotion to our Blessed Lady, it is only in
order to establish devotion to our Lord more perfectly, by providing a
smooth but certain way of reaching Jesus Christ. If devotion to our Lady
distracted us from our Lord, we would have to reject it as an illusion
of the devil. But this is far from being the case. As I have already
shown and will show again later on, this devotion is necessary, simply
and solely because it is a way of reaching Jesus perfectly, loving him
tenderly, and serving him faithfully.

Everything about Medjugorje
centers around Jesus. The main focus of every day is Holy Mass, Prayer
at the church, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, The Way of the Cross up
Cross Mountain and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Mother Mary works
tirelessly to connect us to her Son, who is the beginning and the end
of all creation. She has told us:

September
2, 2011 "Dear children; With all my heart and soul full of faith and
love in the Heavenly Father, I gave my Son to you and am giving Him to
you anew. My Son has brought you, the people of the entire world, to
know the only true God and His love. He has led you on the way of truth
and made you brothers and sisters. Therefore, my children, do not
wander, do not close your heart before that truth, hope and love.
Everything around you is passing and everything is falling apart, only
the glory of God remains. Therefore, renounce everything that distances
you from the Lord. Adore Him alone, because He is the only true God. I
am with you and I will remain with you. I am especially praying for the
shepherds that they may be worthy representatives of my Son and may lead
you with love on the way of truth. Thank you."

December
20, 1984 "Dear children! Today I am inviting you to do something
concrete for Jesus Christ. As a sign of dedication to Jesus I want each
family of the parish to bring a single flower before that happy day. I
want every member of the family to have a single flower by the crib so
Jesus can come and see your dedication to Him! Thank you for having
responded to my call."

May we will each moment of this week for Jesus, through Mary!! We have new prayers this week as well. Let's pray!

and never cease from praising Thee.

Give

Who livest and reignest world without end.

St. Louis De Montfort's Prayer to Mary

Hail
Mary, beloved Daughter of the Eternal Father! Hail Mary, admirable
Mother of the Son! Hail Mary, faithful spouse of the Holy Spirit! Hail
Mary, my dear Mother, my loving Mistress, my powerful sovereign! Hail my
joy, my glory, my heart and my soul! You are all mine by mercy, and I
am all yours by justice. But I am not yet sufficiently yours. I now
give myself wholly to you without keeping anything back for myself or
others. If you still see in me anything which does not belong to you, I
beseech you to take it and to make yourself the absolute Mistress of
all that is mine. Destroy in me all that may be displeasing to God,
root it up and bring it to nought; place and cultivate in me everything
that is pleasing to you.

May
the light of you faith dispel the darkness of my mind; may your
profound humility take the place of my pride; may your sublime
contemplation check the distractions of my wandering imagination; may
your continuous sight of God fill my memory with His presence; may the
burning love of your heart inflame the lukewarmness of mine; may your
virtues take the place of my sins; may your merits be my only adornment
in the sight of God and make up for all that is wanting in me. Finally,
dearly beloved Mother, grant, if it be possible, that I may have no
other spirit but yours to know Jesus and His divine will; that I may
have no other soul but yours to praise and glorify the Lord; that I may
have no other heart but yours to love God with a love as pure and
ardent as yours. I do not ask you for visions, revelations, sensible
devotion or spiritual pleasures. It is your privilege to see God
clearly; it is your privilege to enjoy heavenly bliss; it is your
privilege to triumph gloriously in Heaven at the right hand of your Son
and to hold absolute sway over angels, men and demons; it is your
privilege to dispose of all the gifts of God, just as you will.

Such
is, O heavenly Mary, the "best part," which the Lord has given you and
which shall never be taken away from you-and this thought fills my
heart with joy. As for my part here below, I wish for no other than
that which was yours: to believe sincerely without spiritual pleasures;
to suffer joyfully without human consolation; to die continually to
myself without respite; and to work zealously and unselfishly for you
until death as the humblest of your servants. The only grace I beg you
to obtain for me is that every day and every moment of my life I may
say: Amen, so be it to all that you did do while on earth; Amen, so be
it to all that you are now doing in Heaven; Amen, so be it-to all that
you are doing in my soul, so that you alone may fully glorify Jesus in
me for time and eternity. Amen.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Quotes from 'The Glories of Mary':

‘I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head.’

(Gen. 3:15)

“Since the devil is the head of original sin, this head it was that Mary crushed: for sin never had any entry into the soul of this Blessed Virgin, which was consequently free from all stain.”

MARY, OUR MOTHER

Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry!Below is a slide show of pictures that I have collected: Tears of Mary!

Have a look!

Jeremiah 14:17; 15:18

"Let my eyes shed down tears night and day, and let them not cease, because the Virgin daughter of my people is afflicted with an exceedingly grievous evil. / Why is my sorrow become perpetual, and my wound desperate so as to refuse to be healed?"

Ubi Petrus, ibi ecclesia, et ubi ecclesia vita eterna

Where Peter is, there is the Church, where the Church is there is Eternal Life

About Me

I'm 80, formally married to Marianne for 52 years, [Marianne passed away to the Lord on August 9th, 2013 after suffering a stroke and two cardiac arrests.] We have 4 children (plus 2 in heaven-stillborn) and nine grandchildren plus 1 Step-grandchild. I'm a Korean War Vet, U.S. Navy; I was a Motorcycle News Courier for U.P.I., and WNEW Chanel 5 TV News, during 60's & 70's; a Lieutenant in the Wycoff Hospital Police in the 90's. I was ordained a Permanent Deacon for the Brooklyn Diocese on April 25, 1987 and served in four parishes before relocating to Florida in 2002. I'm still incardinated for Brooklyn Diocese. There was no parish in my town so we traveled to either Mt. Dora or Eustis for Mass. My oldest son and daughter, John and Anne, lived near us but the rest of the gang are up North in New York and Pennsylvania. We have now relocated to a northern state and my ministry is mostly on the Internet with some blogs and groups. I also assist the pastor at the local Catholic church. I owe my life and conversion/calling to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel de Garabandal, who has brought me to her Son Jesus. I am Their servant and slave! I only want to do the Will of God and glorify the Most Blessed Trinity with my life!

My Friend Archbishop David Milne

PSALM 71 SPEAKS TO MY HEART

Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;let me never be put to shame!In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;incline your ear to me, and save me!

Be to me a rock of refuge,to which I may continually come;you have given the command to save me,for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.For you, O Lord, are my hope,my trust, O Lord, from my youth.Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;you are he who took me from my mother's womb.My praise is continually of you.

I have been as a portent to many,but you are my strong refuge.My mouth is filled with your praise,and with your glory all the day.Do not cast me off in the time of old age;forsake me not when my strength is spent.

For my enemies speak concerning me;those who watch for my life consult togetherand say, “God has forsaken him;pursue and seize him,for there is none to deliver him.”

O God, be not far from me;O my God, make haste to help me!May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;with scorn and disgrace may they be coveredwho seek my hurt.

But I will hope continuallyand will praise you yet more and more.My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,of your deeds of salvation all the day,for their number is past my knowledge.

With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

O God, from my youth you have taught me,and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

So even to old age and gray hairs,O God, do not forsake me,until I proclaim your might to another generation,your power to all those to come.Your righteousness, O God,reaches the high heavens.You who have done great things,O God, who is like you?

You who have made me see many troubles and calamitieswill revive me again;from the depths of the earthyou will bring me up again.You will increase my greatnessand comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harpfor your faithfulness, O my God;I will sing praises to you with the lyre,O Holy One of Israel.My lips will shout for joy,when I sing praises to you;my soul also, which you have redeemed.

And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointedwho sought to do me hurt.

Welcome to my Marian Blog

As you can tell from my postings, I'm in love with Mother Mary, who has taken me under her mantle of protection, has taught and led me to Her Divine Son, Jesus; Who in turn has led me, in the Holy Spirit, to the Eternal Father! Two prayers that I say often tell who I am:Come O Holy Spirit; Come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your well-beloved Spouse.

O Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee. My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
